About the Yorkshire Science and Technology Network
The Yorkshire Science and Technology Network (YSTN) is part of the KnowledgeRICH service, bringing new research and technology closer to companies within the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Through a series of regular events, the YSTN aims to increase the number and quality of interactions between innovative companies based in the Yorkshire and Humber region and the outstanding science and technology research base that exists within the region's Higher Education establishments. At the events:
- Influential guest speakers share their insights, philosophies and experiences
- Members can discuss the opportunity to collaborate with others
- We can arrange personal introductions to potential collaborators for our members
- We discuss the shape of the network and the needs of our members
Attendees at recent events includes representatives from Tate and Lyle, Smith & Nephew, Syngenta, Fosters Bakery, Pace Micro Technology, Fluent Europe, De Puy International, Corus Group, BP Chemicals, William Jackson's, Tunstall Group, and Yorkshire Water.
Our members always come away with something - new contacts, meetings planned, fresh ideas or great inspiration.
"We attend a number of business briefings and this is without doubt the highest quality event that we attend. We also find it amusing that as we meet more delegates at each event they invariably ask us what on earth a baker is doing in this forum. The fun is enlightening them about the various technologies we are using and about our R&D commitment. We think that YSTN keeps us sharp in our innovative thinking and there's not been an event yet when we haven't left the meeting with something for the business. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be involved."
- John Foster, Managing Director, Fosters Bakery.
Previous YSTN speakers include Tim Berners-Lee, founder of the World Wide Web, Professor Colin Pillinger, Project Leader of the Beagle 2 Mission to Mars and Nigel Crouch, Senior Industrialist at the DTI, and lead on the Sunday Time "Best 100 Companies to work for" lists.
